Tim
is 16 and in the 11th grade at Okaloosa-Walton Collegiate High School and Niceville Senior High School. Tim is
the leading force behind Operation Iraqi Friendship and also helps his little
sister Bailey with Hero Hugs. Tim plans to attend the Air Force Academy with the hopes of
being a fighter pilot. He is involved in ROTC, enjoys playing baseball and
competes on academic and math teams. During the summer Tim spends his time
taking Duke University TIP courses or attending baseball sports camp at the USAF
Academy in Colorado Springs. He is a huge fan of the St. Louis Cardinals
and has a dream of attending at least one game at every baseball stadium in
America. Tim has given over 4500 hours towards the two projects in the
last 4 years.
Bailey is
Tim's little sister. She is 12 years old and attends Longwood Elementary
School. Bailey has been helping her siblings Erica and Tim put together
packages for U.S. soldiers since she was in kindergarten! In 2003, after
seeing some soldiers working at a hurricane relief point getting griped at by
the people they were there to help, Bailey decided she wanted to be sure every
soldier always knew someone was thinking of them and appreciated their
commitment. When she is not working on packages for the soldiers or
helping Tim with OIF, Bailey enjoys cheerleading, riding her bike, swimming and
playing with her three dogs. Bailey wants to be a figure skater when she
grows up and also would like to turn The Adventures of Hero into a series of
books. To date, Bailey has logged over 4000 community service hours
sending care packages to soldiers and helping make life better for children in
Iraq. Visit Bailey's site at
